Just popped into the D&P for a meal as they had just put boards out advertising food. I think they only started doing food again this week and it was fantastic! I had char grilled yoghurt marinated chicken kebabs, courgettes, mixed peppers, aubergine with Cajun potato wedges, salad and aioli (not easy to say after a couple of pints of Hop Crop!). Others in our party had the burger and the cod, clean plates all round. The beer was well kept, I had the Hop Crop (Caledonian) and others tried the Spitfire. It looks like they are getting a few real ales on in the next few weeks that I might have to sample :)

Following my review posted in Oct 2011 all went well for a while. Sadly this did not last. Good news is that the D & P is now under new management & thriving...back to being a proper local venue.Peter & Christine now run the place & look forward to a long term future at the D & P. Peter is very keen on music nights & organises his own Karaoke along with selected bands attending on various evenings.Worth a visit if you've not been before, &, for those who were dissapointed under the previous management, give it another try!

The Dog & Partridge, Reading Road, Yateley, Hants has recently undergone a massive make-over & the pub has been transformed into a welcoming community venue. The dart board & pool table have gone. The garden has been landscaped into a pleasant area where kids are welcome. There is a separate smoking area. Three TVs are in place. Home cooked food is now offered at very reasonable prices, (not Mondays). The landlord is Martin, & he & his team have made great efforts in a short space of time to bring this local pub back to life.I recommend a visit to the D & P.

I thought the best landlady here was valerie cook. She and david her husband tried their best here to make this pub the best in the area. They cleaned up the pub. They adhered to the licensing laws. They had the councillors coming into the pub, locals that were good locals and not troublemakers, nice people started coming into the pub, they were catering for the older generation and were putting good pub grub into the pub and making it homely. The real ale was excellent. The pub was clean and the kitchen was spotless. The food was good pub grub and nicely presented and value for money. Unfortunately david and val did not have enough time in the pub to be able to change it round but it was on its way. This pub could have been something really special if Val had had the chance to change it for the best! All the locals were welcome here!
